SL needs your help! A chance for you to win 500 CE! (*ENDED*)
So yeah, where have I been over the past few days?
Finishing up my college semester. =_________________=
Yeah, ol' SL has gotten a bit lazy and put off too much of his homework, but that's not the worst of it. No, the worst part is the final piece of work I need to put together for my last class of the semester: a class presentation about something I like, done for the sake of "showing my ability to present" in general. It can be on any topic I want, and not being the most imaginative being in the world, the only thing I could think to present that I had a good amount of knowledge about was Spiral Knights.
The good news is that I have a good idea of how I'll do the presentation; it only needs to be five minutes, and my teacher liked how I did in the group presentation. Now, here's the bad news: thanks to that aforementioned overdue homework, I simply don't have the time to gather up the required screenshots that I plan to use for visual aids. Creating and organizing the presentation won't be that much of a chore, but I can afford neither the time nor the effort to actually play the game and get what I need.
So, I've come with a desperate deal to make with this community. I need the following screenshots in order to make my presentation:
-a basic screenshot of the HUD and such, preferably taken within a Party Lobby area while alone
-another HUD screenshot, with the "Inventory" menu (with the tabs closed) and the "Profile" menu open
-a screenshot of you fighting one or two enemies in a dungeon
-a screenshot of you utterly surrounded by enemies in a dungeon on Tier 3, go for as many as you can; I suggest a Danger Room, but if you can manage a huge mob of baddies without that, go ahead
-a screenshot of you lounging in Haven with a lot of other players, discussing trading or current events or something (keep it PG!)
-a screenshot of you in a party in a dungeon
-a screenshot of Basil selling a lot of recipes (and I mean a lot, enough to fill the shop list to the point where it needs a scroll bar)
-a screenshot of a shop vendor with a lot of recipes (not the Token Trader)
Now, here's the rules that I have to set:
1) You may only submit one screenshot for each purpose listed above, so make sure you have the ones you want.
2) Ideally, I will only pick one of the screenshots you submit.
3) The screenshot must be taken at the lowest resolution that Spiral Knights supports, so that I can work it into a PowerPoint presentation.
4) The only screenshot doctoring I will allow is the cutting out of inappropriate discussion (lewd topics, cuss words, etc.) in the chat. Otherwise, they may not be edited in any way.
If you fulfill each of the above criteria and I use your screenshot in my presentation, I'll reward you with a not-too-shabby 500 Crystal Energy (hence the second rule: I don't want to pay you twice if I can manage it, I'm trying to be fair to other people too). I will also refund any Crystal Energy you may have lost in the dungeons (however I will not refund Mist Energy, you've been warned) while trying to do this favour for me, most likely in getting the "surrounded by enemies" screenshot.
So, how do you enter this impromptu contest? Simply create a post including your in-game name (IGN), the screenshots you took (with links!) and, if applicable, the amount of Crystal Energy you lost in your run (if you don't list an amount, you will not be refunded, so keep track!) in order to get the screenshots for me.
Thanks in advance, fellow knights, and good luck!
EDIT: Didn't notice the low resolution part, so updated pic:

I used the lowest resolution for it to be used in your presentation. Good luck with that pal! ^_^
(No CE's lost obviously.)

Cheers, here's me offering to help others craft Angelic Helms. Haven't seen the recipe as of late so I figured I'd offer it to those who don't have it.

Good, good, this is the kind of response I was hoping for. This community is awesome.
I'm putting these pictures in at the last minute, so do keep them coming! The more selections I have, the better!
(Also, I noticed no one has done the "surrounded by enemies" part yet. I'm really hoping for that for the humour aspect. Don't forget I'll refund any lost CE if you want.)
For the record, I'll be taking submissions until 3:00 PM EST.)

You appear to be missing some very important parts to this presentation. Being as how this game is played Via internet, you need the following.
1.) At some point in your presentation you should Rick Roll your class.
2.) Facts/pictures of Chuck Norris.
3.) Lolcats. Always need more lolcats.
GL on your presentation.
P.S. You are welcome.
Many thanks to all of you who pitched in with your screenshots. That concludes this little mini-contest.
Overall, I think the presentation went pretty well. The screenshots added some flavour to what otherwise would've been a giant jumble of text on a projector. I went over the 5-minute limit and I rambled a bit, but my teacher liked my ability to present nonetheless.
Now, without further ado, the prize winners. Remember, 500 CE is being given out for each screenshot I used:
-garbeld (Garbeld) wins 500 CE
-Prizmat (Laucion) wins 500 CE
-x3ntaro (Alexandriea) wins 500 CE
-Kyajin (Kyajin) wins 2,000 CE (Wha!?)
-lufte (Lufte) wins 1,000 CE
I chose the screenshots that best fit the current point I was trying to convey; there simply weren't enough people throwing pictures in here for me to choose by player (I hadn't realized I chose four of Kyajin's until now, hence the huge prize s/he gets). I'll get to finding the five lucky knights right away.
As for the rest of you whose pictures sadly didn't make the cut, don't think I've simply forgotten about you; doing good on my presentation has put me in a generous mood. I've decided to give you all 100 CE as compensation, and as thanks for coming to help out.
All participants will have their CE prizes mailed to them straight away. Again, thanks to you all for helping me out of a jam!
P.S.: If enough people are interested, I may upload the PowerPoint presentation at a later date.
EDIT: spookas, your IGN is neither in your post nor visible in your screenshot. I suggest you remedy this before you miss out on your 100 CE.
IGN is also spookas. Thanks for the compensation prize, glad your presentation went well!

Woot! Grats on the presentation and thank you for the generosity!
Much care went into each shot :D
Many thanks!
Great that my pictures were of use, I'd gladly see how the presentation turned out.
God bless ya. Hope your presentation turns out splendidly!
Ah.. thanks a ton. Yeah, I thought I was supposed to just post one picture for one subject as to keep the others open for winning as well, so oops. D: Thanks for the 100 CE though! That's nice of you.
Here ya go! This is from a party area with the basic HUD (and a fancy special attack to go with it!) at the lowest (icky) resolution.

Cost 10 energy to go down, but don't sweat that.
Also, in game name = Akiyama as seen in the shot.
